<h1>Viewing documents in Flash Mode </h1>
<p>Flash Mode lets you access interactive features on a document that are 
 supported by Flash, such as widgets. In Flash mode, you can also perform 
 some data manipulations, such as sorting and pivoting objects on the document.</p>
<p>You can do the following in Flash Mode:</p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p>Interact with 
<a HREF="Widgets.htm">widgets</a> such 
 as 
<a HREF="Gauge_widget.htm">Gauges</a> and 
<a HREF="Time_Series_Slider.htm">Time 
 Series Sliders</a>. For example, you can use the graph controller in the 
 Time Series Slider to select a time range for data. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Sort data in grid reports.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Pivot report objects from rows to columns and columns 
 to rows in grid reports.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Quickly switch between views of a report, such as between 
 Grid view and Graph view.</p></li>
</ul>
<h2>Warnings</h2>
<p>As a Document Designer, you must be aware that if a graph uses a graph 
 style that is not supported in Flash, the graph is not displayed. See 
 
<a href="Graphs_supported_in_Flash.htm" style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 10pt;">Graph 
 styles supported in Flash Mode</a>. </p>
<p>Performance in Web may be affected by several factors, including the 
 number of users working in the system at the same time, the user's machine, 
 and network bandwidth. </p>
<h2>Prerequisites</h2>
<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p>You must have the MicroStrategy Report Services product.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>You must have the Adobe Flash Player installed on your 
 computer.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>You must have Flash Mode enabled in your User Preferences. 
 To do this, click <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Preferences</B></span> 
 at the top of the page, click <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Report 
 Services</B></span> on the left, and select the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Enable 
 Flash Mode</B></span> check box.</p></li>
</ul>
<h2>To switch to Flash Mode</h2>
<ol type="1" class="whs2">
	
<li class=p><p>Open the document in <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Design</B></span> 
 or <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Editable</B></span> <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Mode</B></span>. 
 </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>While viewing a document, from the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Home</B></span> 
 menu, select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Flash Mode</B></span>. If Flash 
 Mode is not displayed in the<span style="font-weight: bold;"><B> Home</B></span> 
 menu, Flash Mode may not be enabled in the MicroStrategy project or for 
 the particular document you are viewing.</p></li>
